December 17 news, according to 36Kr reported that today Aoya Design, Huichang Communications, Hengxin Oriental, Chinese Online and other meta-universe companies after hours fell more than 5%, this hot concept seems to usher in a period of weakness.
In 2021, the meta-universe concept fire, many companies announced their entry into the meta-universe field, and after seeing the stocks of the first batch of companies that hyped the meta-universe concept soar, more companies chose to follow. Even The internationally renowned social platform Facebook has directly announced that it will be renamed "Meta" and transformed into a meta-universe company.
A virtual world connected to the real world, but completely different, is still very far away from us, and it is certain that there is a bubble in the concept of the metaverse, but how big this bubble is, we do not know.
In the roundtable discussion session of the 2021 Technology Awards, Song Nan, executive director of Hongtai Fund, said that if the bubble composition of the meta-universe industry is estimated to account for 85%, then startups that use the meta-universe concept to hype financing account for at least 95%. iQIYI CEO Xiong Wen, Ai Media Consulting CEO Zhang Yi, China Mobile Communications Federation Meta-Universe Industry Committee Co-Secretary-General Ye Yurui and others all acknowledged that there is a big bubble in the meta-universe, and also believe that the meta-universe points out the direction for the future of the Internet industry.
The concept of a metacosm is indeed extremely tempting, a virtual world that intersects with reality, and we can gallop freely and forget all our troubles and sorrows. However, this virtual world needs strong technical support, and with the current technology of human beings, there is still a long way to go to achieve the metacosm. Now all the meta-universe companies are in the early stage of technology research and development, and most of them are not in the end.
It is conceivable that after the heat of the meta-universe has passed, the market value of these so-called meta-universe companies will plummet, and even some startups that use the meta-universe concept to hype and raise funds will directly collapse. Of course, these startups don't matter, their purpose is to raise funds, to achieve the goal, and will not care about the future of the metacosm.
Xiao Lei wants to remind investors that the meta-universe industry bubble and risk are too big, even Facebook, the stock has fallen a lot since September. The metacosm is not a panacea for making money, and if you want to enter the game, you must be prepared to lose money.
